WASHINGTON — New billboards paid for by a Republican group have gone up in North Carolina calling on two Republicans to resign from the U.S. House in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
The Republican Accountability Project, created by anti-Donald Trump Republicans, purchased the billboards in opposition to U.S. Reps. Madison Cawthorn and Dan Bishop. It is part of a $1 million national campaign against a dozen or so congressional Republicans, including Sens. Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley, according to the group.
“You lied about the election. The Capitol was attacked. Cawthorn: Resign,” the billboards read in Cawthorn’s district.
